Review of Little Ashes (2008) by Ovi G — 27 Mar 2011
This is just unbelievable, it figures that only Hollywood has the power to just trash Dali's image with just one film. I'm a fan of Salvador Dali's art, books, biography and when I heard of a film it only figures I got intrigued, only to find none other than Robert Pattinson taking the shoes of world wide renowned surreal painter Salvador Dali.
I mean I know money is almost everything but Robert Pattinson? seriously? fuck the money, respect the artist. Got nothing against the guy but this is just WRONG. I even tried to overlook the fact that the film itself refers to the youth of Dali but did it really have to be Pattinson?.
Ok let's overlook this also, another issue I got is even greater. Dali has an amazing love for another fellow male (that is waaaay too exaggerated in the movie ....oh come on, history barely speaks of such "accident" and no matter what I read about him I see everywhere only speaking of his undying love for his wife Gala that represents his, and I quote "muse and very air he breathes".
But... the film itself is still interesting and tends to incline to almost a biography of Dali's youth. I just wished he was more like...the Dali I read about. Nonetheless it's a little piece of history from now on that's worth watching.
Enjoy!
